Oct 27, 2016 (newstodate): No significant break-through was achieved in the latest round of aviation negotiations between Scandinavia and Russia, held in June 2016.
Several issues are pressing for a solution, including Norwegian's needs for overflight rights to streamline flights on the routes between Scandinavia and destinations in Asia as already enjoyed by SAS.
-We discussed a wide range of issues at the meeting including those of special importance to Norwegian, but the negotiations did not reach a conclusion, says Ann-Kristin Hanssen, Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications, Civil Aviation Section Senior Adviser.
-We agreed to meet again for a renewed round of negotiations in February 2017, says Ms Hanssen.
Present with observer status at the negotiations in June 2016 were also representatives from Norwegian, SAS, TUI Flynordic and Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia.
The three Scandinavian countries negotiate air services agreements and other aviation policy issues with other countries jointly, with Norway in charge of negotiations with Russia on behalf of also Denmark and Sweden.
